The former player, who was 42, belonged to the generation that secured the historic third place for Argentina’s Pumas at the 2007 World Cup in France. According to the French media, he would have received between two to three gunshot wounds.
Regret runs through Argentinian rugby. This, because the former Argentine rugby player Federico Martín Aramburu, was shot dead during an altercation at dawn in Paris, in a bar in the center of the French capital, according to various sources reported to the AFP agency.
The 42-year-old former athlete belonged to the historic trans-Andean generation that won third place for the Pumas at the discipline’s 2007 World Cup in France. Because of this, the news sparked reactions from those who once shared courtship with him.
For example, Agustín Pichot, who was captain of the Argentine cast at the time, regretted what happened and, through his social networks, expressed his sadness.
“A hug to all of Fede’s family and friends at this very sad time. We will miss you very much,” he posted on his official Twitter account.
As for the facts, Aramburu was shot dead at the gourmet restaurant Le Mabillon, located in the heart of the Saint-Germain district, on Saturday at 6:15 p.m., learned TF1info from a police source. Something that the media L’Indépendant and L’Équipe also made known.
He had frequented the place with Frenchman Shaun Hegarty, who was his business partner and also a former teammate of the Biarritz Olympique club. The exrugbiers allegedly started an argument with two men and, according to Le Parisien, they invited each other to fight. In this, one of the subjects showed a weapon, so the fight stopped, for now.
However, once Aramburu and Hegarty left the compound, a car approached them and at least five shots were fired. The Argentinian would have received between two to three bullets, dying before the arrival of the rescuers. Given the situation, the prosecutor’s office in the French capital said it would open an investigation into the crime.
